She was a daughter of C. L. Creamar, the well-known farmer, and had a host of .friends, who will sincerely sympathize with the bereaved -husband and relatives. Mr. Meisinger of Bals Meisinger known to alm3t every resident of Cass county. The funeral occurred Sunday after noon at one o'clock from the residence, and the interrment took place ;at the "VValradt cemetery, in Eight Mile Grove precinct. A MUSICAL TREAT. The Concert Last Evening Heyoml th Expectations of the Audience. Tuesday's Daily. It was Plattsmouth's turn to honor her own last night, and right royally did she act her part. And the old proverb, "A prophet in his own coun try," etc., was not true. A few years ago two little girls were born to Mr. and Mrs. George E. Dovey of this city. From the time they be gan to walk they were loved and pet ted by all who knew them. As they grew older their sweet and gentle manners have endeared them to our townspeople. Last year they visited "Merrie England," and wherever they went people gathered to hear the ''Lit tle American Song Birds," as an Eng lishman called them. They returned home in August, but owing to other engagements, partially, their concert for our people had been deferred un til last evening. Were you there? Have you ever seen a finer audience in JWaterman hall, not alone iuj number, (standing room was at a premium, however,) but a more cultured and critical audience is not otten seen in our city. The hall was tastefully decorated with the P. E. O. colors and potted plants and bright autumn leaver ad ded their pleasing colors. The opening number, a violin solo, by Miss Kauble, was finely rendered. Miss Kauble is a favorite with Platts tnouth people. Her work is always conscientious and how daintily fine holds the bow! Miss Terry's number, 4,Bel Raggio," (from Semiramide) was so meritorious that she sang her way into every heart and the large audience would not be content with a bow. Then she gave as an encore "Ye Banks and Braes of Bonnie Doon." An expert musical critic might have looked wise and at tempted to find a flaw in Miss Terry 'e work, but she made only sweet melody for us in all her numbers last evening. Plattsmouth people will hope to'bear her again before she goes abroad. The balcony scene was perhaps the finest number on the program. Both of the little girls showed careful work. Every word could be distinctly heaid in the larger hall and in their acting they showed talent far beyond their years. The picture of little Romeo and Juliet will not soon be forgotten. Each number was a treat and the voices or Jtnei and Alice uovey blended so sweetly, strengthening and sustaining each other so perfectly that one could be pardoned for being weak enough to feel moisture in their eyes. Sweet little girla! "When many miles stretch between vour home friends in the Nebraska town, and your concert work in far-away cities, sing for the strangers as you sang for us last night "There is No Place Like Home," for we love and are proud of you. The trio "Way Down Upon the Suwanee River" could not have been sung better, and old as the song may be, and no matter how many times we have heard it, there was a new mean ing for u9, as the three sang it so de- ijehtfully. It is to be regretted that only those upon the front seats could enjoy the last numbers. The next time these little folks sing for us, will the ladies leave their large hats in the cloak room? An informal reception was given after the concert and many remained to have a word with the artists who gave us such a rarer treat. A Benefit Concert. Several Plattsmouth ladies are ar ranging to give a concert at Water man's hall on the evening of October 24, for the benefit of Miss Lillian Kau ble. All the best musical talent in the city will be included in the program, which will be published later. The cause is. certainly a most wortny one, and Miss Kauble is highly deserving of the compliment. She has always rendered her sesviees gratis to every home-talent entertainment given in the city for the past several years. Miss Kauble ranks among the formost artists on the violin in this state, and undoubtedly has a bright career before her. C. E. Wescott & Son, the "boss clothiers," have an announcement in The Journal that is well-worth the attention of everyone who is contem plating purchasing their winter cloth ing. Read it carefully.

Lindsay was con victed of manslaughter and sentenced o a term of two yars in the peniten iary. This judgment was affirmed Tuesday by the supreme court. th syllabus of th opinion being as fol lows: 1. A ruling of the district court upon a question ot fact presented by motion supported by affidavits will not be disturbed In the supreme court un less such ruling is clearly without sup port of sufficient evidence. 2. Ob a motion made in the district court to compel an election as l whether the esse in which the motion was made, or another cate involving .t prosecution for the same offense in the same court should b dismissed, tin- ruling of the district court cannot be reviewed in the supreme court in th absence of a proper showing that in the district curt theie were in fn-t pending two c ises of the nature indi cated. . 3.

A Chanfi: ol the M. 1. Nebraska City News. The Missouri Pacific is figuring on a new time table which is expected to c' into force next month and which will be a radical change from the present time. The train goingnorth willleave Kansas City late in the evening aud reach here in the neighborhood of 6 o'clock a. m. and arrive in Omaha between 8 and 9 o'clock. The evening train out of Omaha will be abandoned but will leave about 4 o'clock in the afternoon aud reach Kansas City in time to make connections with the midnight, trains out. The Lincoln train will start from this city and leave here shortly before 7 o'clock or just after the arrival of the passenger from the south. The change will benefit Omaha. Omaha'H Trrnsury Mioriape The investigation into the affairs of the Omaha city treasury, which has been in progress since Treasurer Bollu was deposed for being caught short, has developed a new line of evidence, which, it is asserted.shows that Jerome Coulter, Bolln's deputy, who was dis missed with Bolln, misappropriated $20,000 and possibly more. No effort was apparently made to falsify the books. The money was taken and pocketed and as more was needed it was drawn from the banks. The reason why this had never been discovered was that from the time that Bolln went into office those books were never balanced with the cash account. During the last few months of Ballrfs administration the conduct of his deputy was a matter of public notoriety. For farm loans, see J. M. Ley da. Reliable abstracts also furnished. A WKD ABOUT THK TICKET. The candidates on the democratic ticket are daily winning their way moro and more into popular favor. The people recognize in one and all of them just the right men for the places j for which they have been nominated, -f- B. S. Ramsey, the present county judge, Who has been named by the dlS- trict convention for judge of the dis trict bench, is not only acceptable to his party, but even the populists have recommended him and very many re publicans both in Cass and Otoe coun ty are favoring him. He is so well and favorably known that he needs no in troduction. He will be elected, -t- Xd man has ever made so popular a clerk of the district court as "Doc." Deanng. -t- , No mau in the county has a better reputation tor honesty, ability or fit ness than Jacob Tritsch. -t In Wm. D. Wheeler is a self-made man; capable, upright, feerless, and whom all his neighbors respect and admire as a manly man and a splendid citizen. Of Judge Archer it is said and known that he has been tried and totmd true. A roan of mature years, a lawyer, of much experience a a jus tice and police judge, there can be no mistake in electing him. He would not make the county judge's bench a place of buffoonery, but of dignity, a3 well as probity. Lester E. Stone is a young man of a good family, of high character and of business integrity, who, as county clerk, will make a competent, indus trious official. -y Ceorge 11.

George A. Towle. the nominee for commissioner in the third distiict. is a mac of splendid business qualifica tions, is a man of rare good sense and judgment and ought by all means be elected. -t J. P. Falter, the nominee for com missioner in the first district, was tried in the fire of last year's campaign, and came out unscathed. He will be elected, and he ought to be. POLITICAL l'OIMEKS. Judge M. Archer, the next county judge, went out to Louisville yester day afternoon. Dr. W. II. Dearing, clerk of the dis trict court, is absent in the west part of the county, canvassing in his own interest. S. L. Geisthardt. of Lincoln, can didate for district judge of Lancaster county, on the gold-bug ticket, was in town Monday on legal business. Lester E. Stone of Nehawka, the democratic nominee for county clerk, accompanied by Esquire C. W. Ban ning, was in town Saturday. Wm. D. Wheeler was in attendance on the democratic committee meeting Saturday. He is flattered with his prospects for election as sheriff in the county. George II. Gilmour of Mt. Pleasant precinct, the democratic nominee for county superintendent, was in town Saturday. His nomination went to him as a surprise, but is recognized as one of the best on the ticket. The meeting of the democratic cen tral committee was well attended by committeemen and candidates and very encouraging reports were heard heard from various parts of the county. Work for the campaign was mapped out, and Chairman Travis was author ized to push the matter of organization as rapidly as possible. The resigna tion of Charles Grimes as secretary of the committee was presented, was ac cepted and D. O. Dwyer was elected to fill the vacancy. The Louisville Courier in mention ing Claus Brekenf eld's business failure last week, says that he "turned his stalk.over to a receiver." ABOUT THE TOWN. Few Things That Have Trans pired in This Vicinity. A PAIR OF PAINFUL ACCIDENTS cha. Witherow Itecelves An Injury at the Shop That Will Disable Him For a Few Weeks A Lady Also Sprains Her Arm. A liroken Arm. C. E. Witherow, an employe of the B. & M. plaining mill, was the victim of a peculiar accident last Monday. He was engaged in boring a hole in a piece of wood, the augur being op erated by machinery, when the tool encountered a knot in the timber. The piece was jerked from his grasp aud began revolving at a lightning speed with the auur. The wood struck Mr. Witherow on the left fore arm with fearful force, breaking the bone. The fractured arm was set, and Mr. Witherow will rest for a few weeks. A Serious Fall. Mrs. W. L. Picket received a very painful injury last Saturday. She was receiving some guests, and while stepping backwards stumbled over a child. In order to save the child from injury, Mrs. Picket threw herself side ways and fell upon her right arm, badly spraining that member at the elbow. She is getting along nicely, however, and will soon be able to at tend to her household duties. Caught the Defaulter. Jerome Coulter, the missing ex-deputy treasurer of Omaha, with a $31,800 charge of defalcation hanging over him, is now in jail atXew Orleans. A telegram to that effect was received in Omaha shortly before 11 o'clock last Lnight. and an hour later was followed by another signed by D. S. Goster, chief of police, which read as follows: Jerome Coulter arrested, will return without papers. Has a large, heavy tihnk. Answer.' An officer will be senf nfter the embezzler. A Card or Thanks.

The Nebraska City News says: Judge Ramsey has been a resident of this state since 1863, has frequently been honored by the people of Cass by beiag elected to responsible positions and has never yet suffered defeat. He is a lawyer of ability, and as county judge is recognized as one of the ablest in the state. His decisions have stood a better test than have those of the present district judge. He has no favorites to influence him, one way or another, but does his duty without re gard to political effect or what the re sult may be. He is scrupulously hon est, a man of legal learning and exper ience, and his election will mean the purification and elevation of the ju diciary. He is a man whom the dem ocrats of Otoe can most cordially sup port, and with a united vote there is no doubt as to what the result will be. Judge Ramsey will be the next judge of the second judicial district." That Sewing Machln Case. The case of David Neal vs. the Singer Sewing Machine eompany was being tried today before a jury in Jus tice Archer's court. This is another chapter of the case, wherein Trility, the local agent of the sewing machine company, purloined a machine from Neil's house on account of an alleged breach in the contract. The plaintiff claims that the contract has been ful filled, and asks that the machine be restored to him, and also that damages in the sum of $200 be awarded him. The matter was argued at considerable length by the attorneys, and was given to the jury at half-past three o'clock. The outcome will be noted with interest by many, as the case in volves several fine legal points. Later The jury, after being nut for a few minutes, returned with a verdict for $S5 for the plaintiff. The case will probably be appealed. Judge Ramsey went down to Ne braska City this morning in the inter est of his candidacy for the district judgeship. cTHE CASH 5 CLOTHIER. Business Ms $5.00.
